Word breakdown

चतुर्भिः श्रीकण्ठैः शिवयुवतिभिः पञ्चभिरपि
by four Śrīkaṇṭhas, five Śiva-maidens, and nine root-principles of Shambhu
प्रभिन्नाभिः शम्भोर्नवभिरपि मूलप्रकृतिभिः ।
with forty-three earth-circle kalas and three circles
त्रयश्चत्वारिंशद्वसुदलकलाश्रत्रिवलय-
three and forty, on earth-circle kalas, three circles
त्रिरेखाभिः सार्धं तव चरणकोणाः परिणताः ॥११॥
with three lines together, Your foot-corners have become complete

The esoteric numerology maps all tattvas to the Goddess's feet. She encompasses every category of manifestation; devotion discovers in Her form the formal completeness that points beyond all categories to the one Self.
